Sport

Sport is featured very highly at HJPS. Children are taught two hours of high-quality PE by the PE department/Challenge Sport & Education weekly. The National Curriculum for PE is taught and in Key Stage 1, the children learn games, gymnastics and dance. In Key Stage 2 the children learn games, gymnastics, dance, swimming, outdoor and adventurous activities and athletics.

Children at HJPS take part in various sporting matches and fixtures throughout the year. These are organised and run by Maccabi and the Watford and Hertsmere School Sports Partnership. Trials for sports teams will take place and parents will be notified by the players in advance.

Depending on the time of year and demand, HJPS offer various sporting after school clubs. These clubs include netball, football, karate, gymnastics, Israeli dancing, and tennis. Please click here to see all the clubs on offer for our pupils.

HJPS achieved the Gold Award from the Watford and Hertsmere School Sports Partnership.

The school was rewarded for our commitment, engagement and delivery of sport and physical education. We were presented with this award at the PE Headteachers Conference in October 2018.
